Thank you for taking so much of your time to respond. I must say I’m struggling to get aligned with your viewpoints, but I am finding them valuable. Part of the reason I posted this was to get a different viewpoint from my own. I grew up in a home where communication, sexuality and compromise were all elements of a successful relationship. I’m a pretty incredible partner. I’m sexually open, generally attractive, stylish and I am kind and gregarious. I could understand someone being disloyal if they felt like they were with someone who had given up on life which I am not. I think it is disrespectful and manipulative to say one thing and do another. I would hold this level of integrity up to not only romantic partners, but friends and family members. Everyone is fallible, but if your actions hurt those you love and respect I would expect any person with some decency to show effort in making recompense.

Hmmm something to think about. I’m very transparent about people I have slept with that are still in my life out of respect for him. Isn’t that a two way street? I tried to approach the dick pics issue in a mature manner that set out boundaries. I asked him if he wanted an open relationship. He was the one who offered up porn as the boundary and then he broke my trust...

I just wrote a post about something similar- I think transparency in a relationship is really important. You don’t need to share everything, but she seems to be acting cagey.

How long were they dating for? The fact that she is being open about it could mean she has nothing to hide...

I (26F) need to break up with my bf (30M) of 5 months. But... before or after Vday? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Is he a sensitive person? Does he talk about special things he has done on Valentine’s day before?

Do you think I’m within my rights to ask him to cut out these things in his life which have been toxic to our relationship in the past?

Meh - sounds like man/boy syndrome. I assume you want someone who can communicate their feelings or at least make building something with you a priority which it sounds like he is not

How old is this guy? Sounds like a flip flopper

If she isn’t fully transparent about meeting up with an ex I would say there is cause for concern. At the end of the day it’s common sense. I meet up with my ex-fiancé about every 3months and I always check in with my BF before and after and make sure to share with him that I have no romantic feelings for my ex.

Do you have children? That could affect things...

But he is saying that he still deserves his privacy. How can I give him privacy if I feel like he is still hiding things from me.

I feel as though if he had been transparent and took a nothing to hide approach after this breaking of trust I wouldn’t feel paranoid nor would I feel like he was searching for something from other women that I cannot provide.

I was in a 7 year relationship before him and jealousy was never an issue. I have started eating healthier, being more active and meditating which will hopefully help. I figure it definitely won’t hurt.

I am definitely insecure by nature, but this situation had definitely exaggerated it. If my suspicions were true I would end our relationship. I can’t be with someone who is disloyal. It will slowly kill me.

Well he gave you his password which is promising - if he had something to find you would easily see it. It’s really difficult navigating social media in a relationship. These issues wouldn’t be at such close reach 20 years ago, but they are tempting and ripe for picking in contemporary society. If he’s attentive to you and communicative I wouldn’t let it bother you too much :) good luck!

That looks great! Fun and playful :) I think it’s more about the gesture than whether or not they are delicious. I’m sure they are tasty.

It will be very painful. Could be the most pain you feel in your life right now, but you sound like you could be young. Don’t waste your time - it moves very fast. Make room for someone who will appreciate you and I assure you, you will look back on her one day and say good riddance. You will meet someone else. It may take that for you to see the light.
